The challenges in nursing are diverse: the increasing shortage of skilled workers, inadequate financial means and overloaded structures require creative solutions. In her lecture, Fatma Yilmaz, team director of the nursing support point, highlighted the emergency situations in domestic care. She called for emergency folders to create and to expand the control options for control centers. Ulrich Rauch, head of the elderly, also pointed out the need for a network of emergency helpers to enable more fluid emergency care. Another important aspect of the conference was geriatric care that Dr. Jürgen Heins and Dr. Fabian Schneider, the chief physician of geriatrics, was illuminated. They presented the offer of their geriatrics clinic in Groß-Umstadt. The geriatric care that includes medical treatment, nursing support, social stabilization and rehabilitation is crucial for the often complex needs of older patients.

The aim of this reform is to better control patient flows and relieve overloaded clinics. About a quarter of the patients in emergency rooms are over 70 years old, and this age group often has multimorbidity and atypical symptoms. Professor Katrin Singler demands more geriatric expertise in central emergency rooms to meet these challenges. The need for comprehensive geriatric medicine is clear.

All in all, it becomes clear that the exchange and networking of specialists from nursing and health care are necessary to address the challenges in emergency care and geriatric care. It will be exciting to observe how the planned reforms are implemented and what progress will bring the coming time. geriatric care in the district
